Its been one hell of a trip and i'm so happy that mattie and Jared gave me a call on that fateful christmas day! Thanks guys! Also thank you to everyone that has given us feedback on the blog, its been awesome hearing from all of you! Mattie and I are now in Belgrade on our way to Holland, and Jared is struggling to get a schengen visa in London.
Enjoy the pics, its been real!
(feel free to add in your own cheesy montage sountrack, push play now)
Oh... Just checked what this looks like when its published and saw that the captions are squashed... badly. Sorry about that, Blogger doesnt seem to encourage photo posts, and the post looks amazing in the edit screen (which for some reason is different to the final post) anyway, I'm not re-editing the whole post...

wow - awesome photos!hope the trip just keeps getting better! from ur most loyal reader, amy:) xxx
Reading this brought tears to my eyes. Thank you both for the most amazing trip of my life. It was the exact adventure that I was looking for - just can't believe it's over already.
I'm glad to hear you're having fun in Eastern Europe, I'm lank jealous of those EU passports. This Schengen is playing havoc with my Le Mans plans. But I'll battle through.
I love you both.
Can't wait for Roskilde Reunion 07! WOO-WOO!
All these pictures are indeed so awesome!! It gives me goosebumps all over and I indeed think the 3 of you had your experience of a lifetime!! Wonderful, wonderful!
love Judith
